Growing Forward Personal Growth Services

Just two years ago I stepped into a program room having no idea really what the program was about or how it would benefit me.  Every impulse in my body was saying, “Just Do It.”  And so I did.  Back then I would have never thought that by simply trusting that  ’gut’ feeling, that life would unfold in a meaningful way and now…I know of no other way to live.

Two year ago the program that I took was called, “Igniting the Self.”  Wow!!!  And that’s exactly what happened. 

It was as though the flame that once upon a time that had burned within me and aloud me to simply follow the impulses in my body had burned out (or rather I was assisted in putting it out).  The sad thing for me was to discover that it burned out a very long time ago when I was a child. 

We all know children are cute until they actually start voicing their thoughts.  Nothing more than an impulse happening inside their bodies that they bring through to the outside by using voice.  That’s unfortunately when the flame starts to slowing go out. 

We start to realize that it’s not o.k. to simply be ourselves, that there’s a better way of being and it’s definitely has nothing to do with following an impulse in the body.  Rather we’re taught the complete opposite.  When the impulse in the body says be honest and say what is there, we’re told that it’s not appropriate, it’s not nice, we shouldn’t hurt people’s feelings and the list goes on.  I guess, that’s when it isn’t fun being a child anymore – because we know that we’re incapable of knowing what’s ‘right’ or what’s ‘wrong.’  So luckily we have adults to show us and if we don’t get it right there’s always an opportunity to have it beaten into us or maybe a little ‘fear of the Lord’ to remind us…who to be, how to be, where to be, what to be etc…

AND THAT IS WHERE THE FLAME OF SELF SLOWLY BURNS OUT.

And here I am two years later having just delivered a program called, “Decloaking and Living Authentically.”

This is my opportunity to share with others that the spark of Self is still within our reach and that yes in fact…It’s o.k. being you and that you are enough.  Remembering who we are sometimes can be a challenge when for years we’ve been taught and reminded that our feelings of being incomplete and incompetent are justifiable.  We’re simply not enough the way that we are.  We need to learn and be exactly like everyone else so that we don’t rock their boats.  And yet when we do that, the flame slowly goes out and we end up with all kinds of health issues and because we’ve been taught so well since we were children to honor someone else’s thoughts/opinions of us, we continue to move through our lives in the same fashion as adults.  We look to the outside for answers that are happening on the inside of our body’s.

Decloaking and Living Authentically is a step towards reclaiming your spark and creating a long burning flame that transforms from within so that others too…see the brilliance of who you are which enables their flame to ignite and maybe…just maybe allow them to be themselves.

The transformation that took place in the program room did not come without pain, shame, guilt and tears.  Not that anyone in the room ‘deserved’ to feel that way but it was something taught to them at a young age.

Through conversations the mortar of the past slowly started to break down and break away.  It’s exciting to witness women (with tears flowing) when they discover how magnificent they truly are and they feel it within themselves.  And yet it’s somewhat sad to think that we keep the true genius of who we are as adults almost hidden away until we feel safe enough to bring our impulses (feelings) that we experience on the inside to the outside world to witness.  And then…miracles happen.

I’m truly blessed to be engaging with so many magnificent women and soon I’ll be engaging with men as well.  They too have been taught how to be and how not to be and yet, I’m clear that the majority of my programs will be for/with women.  (As I write I realize that it isn’t completely true.  I know that, “Life Unfolding” is about to become one of my dreams soon to become reality.  “Life Unfolding” is something that came into my awareness in the early spring of this past year.  It will be a series of events that will ‘unfold’ for women, women and their children and families.  How can transformations of families take place if I don’t create an opportunity for families to experience something different?

As for this past week being witness to women reclaiming their lives and the true genius of who they are, knowing that them simply ‘being’ is enough, there are no words.  To use words would only minimize the brilliance of what I experienced.  Seeing transformation…is simply incredible.  Being part of it and witnessing it, that is purely amazing.

Hats off to any woman who is ready to step up and out to reclaim the brilliance of who you are.

Letting Go of The Past AND…GROWING FOWARD.

Hugs to all for being Magnificent YOU,
